I try to stay competitive with Current GP but as a independent breeder it can be hard so I started taking BM items because I know not everyone can afford passes but may have BM items laying around. I pride myself on being honest and giving others the chance of owning the current GP horses without having to shell out a bunch of passes. Since players can only trade with another player once a week, all  BM trades must be of equal value to passes. I always follow through on my end so I expect the same from the players I trade with. 

Trading BM items: You must reserve the BM item discussed (if you feel the need to safe guard your purchase then by all means put it/them for equus (example: if you are trading a Golden apple for a 1 pass horse then reserve golden apple to me for $100,000) then I will reserve the horse in sales for the same amount. Trade must be of equal pass value or agreed upon by me.
